Claire’s back

laying again, having taken an unscheduled break, since June 5th. She was a bit erratic at the end of May anyway – dropped to two days on, one day off. Perfectly acceptable, coming in to winter (and this May was the coldest on record!). She laid on June 2nd, June 3rd, then again on the 5th. She seemed healthy and happy. Comb still red and juicy. Just no laying. And then this morning she started wingeing again, so I knew something was on the way. (So, I fear, did most of our neighbours. Sigh!) And yes, around 11 am there was a nice little brown egg from Claire. Awww!
